Sheriff's officials in northwest Georgia said a teenage boy died after he and his friends fell through the frozen surface of a pond.

Gordon County Deputy Coroner Heath Derryberry said Joseph Attoh, 13, and four other children were riding four-wheelers in Calhoun when they stopped to step onto the frozen surface of a pond Thursday afternoon.

Derryberry said four of the five children walked onto the pond's surface and after it shattered, Attoh was unable to get out.

Derryberry said the other three children have been evaluated and released to their parents.
